GLASS CONTAINER. 1

Application filed January 17, 1924. Serial No. 686,707.

" and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Glass Containers, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to glass containers, 0 more particularly of thebottle form, the object of the invention being to provide an improvedglass container which may be sealed by various forms or sizes of caps,the container being so constructed that it is 115 usable in connectionwith shallow flanged caps, or deep flanged caps such as catsup caps, andcaps of different diameter, and.

which container is simple in construction, readily made and inexpensiveto manufacture.

In the drawings accompanying and forming a part of this specification.Fig. 1 is a side view of this improved glass container; Fig. 2 is across sectional view taken on 25 line 22 Fig. 1 looking in the directionof the arrows; Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view taken on line 33 Fig. 1looking in the direction of the arrows; and Fig. 4 is a verticalsectional view of a portionof the neck of the container.

Similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in theseveral views.

' Before explaining in detail the present improvement and mode ofoperation thereof, it is desired to have it understood that theinvention is not limited to the details of construction and arrangementof parts which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, since theinvention is capable of 40 other embodiments, and that the phraseologywhich is employed is for the purpose of description and not oflimitation.

This improved. container shown in the form of a bottle comprises a body2 tapering to the neck 3 which is provided with a shouldered and roundedlip or mouth 4, and spaced below and of larger, diameter an annularshoulder 5, and spaced below and of still larger diameter a s oulder 6facing the shoulder 5. By means of the mouth or "lip shoulder 4 thebottle can be sealed" by the use of a shallow flanged cap such as acrimped cap and which is'usually of small diameter. By the use of theshoulder 5 the bottle may be sealed by means of a deep flanged cap, suchas that shown in my contemporaneously pending allowed application, filedJan. 17, 1924, Serial No. 686,708, and when such a cap is used theshoulder 6 acts as a fulcrum for a coin by means of. which the cap maybe readily pried off. It will be observed that the several shoulders 4,5, and 6 increase in diameter toward the body of the container, thusalso permitting the use of caps of different diameters, the uppershoulder 4 permitting the use of caps of small diameter, while theshoulder 5 permits the use of caps of larger diameter as well asincreased depth of flange.

It will be further observed that the shoulder 5 is formed by an annularband 5 and is connected with the shoulder d by an inwardly taperedportion 7 and a curved portion 8, while the shoulder 6 is connected withthe shoulder 5by an inwardly curved portion 9 and a straight portion 10,while said shoulder 6 has a relatively fiat upper face 11 andtapers'toward the neck of the bottle as at 12, from which point thebottle flares toward the body.

Thus the structure of the neck and its shoulders is such that there areno extreme sharp edges. to be readily chipped and broken ofi.

It is to be understood that by describing infldetail herein anyparticular form structure or arrangement, it is not intended to limitthe invention beyond the terms of the several claims-or the requirementsof the prior art.

Having thus enplained the nature of my said invention and described away of constructing and using thesame, although without attempting toset forth all of the forms in which it may be made or'all of the modesof its use,l[ claim:

' LA glass container having multiple integral glass shoulders ofdifierent dlameters,

one below another, each shoulder of unthreaded form-having an inwardlyprojecting smooth lower edge forming cap retaining means for theinwardly projecting holding portion of a cap thereby to permit the useof different kinds or depths or sizes of caps on the same container. v

2.- A glass container havingmultiple in-' tegral glass shoulders ofdifferent diameters,

one below another, each shoulder of unthreaded form having an inwardlyprojecting smooth lower edge forming cap retaining means for theinwardly projecting holdalso having a shoulder below said cap holdingshoulders positioned and constructed to 10 act as a fulcrum to permitthe use of a coin to pry ofi a cap applied to the lowermost cap holdingshoulder.

Signed at New York, New York, this 15th day of January, 1924.
